STUDENTS SPEAK

JMC Academy is a place that breaths creativity and potential. All day I am finding myself surrounded by likeminded students, as dedicated and passionate about their art as they are friendly and caring about their fellow schoolmates. Together we are given the opportunity to explore and develop as individual artists, putting our knowledge and experiences into practice, achieving goals, setting new ones, and constantly expanding our world of creations.

JMC has become a place where I can explore my potential and creativity, develop my skills and embrace new challenges and where my thoughts and feelings can be embodied through the art in which I express myself - music.

I just love the approach, compared to back home, it's so different in that everyone will have a chance to throw some ideas in a class, people are willing to listen, take your idea and then maybe expand your idea in a class. I cam from a very small town, without much performance opportunity, but here you can gig pretty much every week if you want.

The people at JMC were so friendly with me. I always felt welcomed, people were really interested to get to know me, people were so kind and made you feel at home. The best thing about JMC was meeting people from different creative fields, and that allows you to build new relationships to work and create different content and collaborate with them.

I love that all the teachers are professional musicians who also work and live in the music field. Having a chance to go see your teacher perform at their own gig is an experience beyond studying.

Being around industry professionals every day gives you the rare opportunity to have some of Australia's greatest musicians help you with whatever you may need. JMC really is a friendly community of extreme talent.
